Apple Crumb Squares

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a nice treat to serve with coffee or tea and, unlike many apple desserts or snacks, you'll find that these squares travel well. That makes them a perfect candidate for a morning meeting or an evening pot luck supper. The squares are like an apple slice, but they have a firm bottom and are less sweet. The squares, which can be eaten out of hand, are a cross between a cake and a cookie and those of you who like natural apple flavor will enjoy the simplicity of this treat. The cake/cookie has a buttery base and a layer of apples that are covered with apricot jam and topped with a thick layer of crumbs. The recipe appeared in Family Circle magazine and the first time I made the squares I thought they needed a bit of a flavor boost. I increased the amount of salt used in the cookie base and doubled the amount of preserves used to brush the apples. I also played a bit with the extracts and the amount of pie spice used in the recipe. This is a very simple and homely dessert. If you like streusel and apples, chances are you'll enjoy these squares, They are fast and easy to make. I do not think they are particularly good keepers, but if they are stored in an airtight container dessert they will last for a day or two. They tend to get soggy as they age. Here's how they are made.
